Document Details

The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it covers Azure Policy controls for both Windows and Linux VMs in some areas, Windows-specific examples and audit checks (such as password complexity, password age, and password reuse) are provided in detail, whereas equivalent Linux examples are either missing or less emphasized. Windows VM controls are described explicitly, while Linux VM controls are mentioned only in passing or not at all for some security controls. Additionally, Windows VM password management is covered in depth, but Linux password management is limited to file permissions, with no mention of password complexity or aging policies for Linux VMs.
